+ * sys_sync_file_range() permits finely controlled syncing over a segment of
+ * a file in the range offset .. (offset+nbytes-1) inclusive. If nbytes is
+ * zero then sys_sync_file_range() will operate from offset out to EOF.
+ *
+ * The flag bits are:
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
+ * before performing the write.
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: initiate writeout of all those dirty pages in the
+ * range which are not presently under writeback.
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER: wait upon writeout of all pages in the range
+ * after performing the write.
+ *
+ * Useful combinations of the flag bits are:
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: ensures that all pages
+ * in the range which were dirty on entry to sys_sync_file_range() are placed
+ * under writeout. This is a start-write-for-data-integrity operation.
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE: start writeout of all dirty pages in the range which
+ * are not presently under writeout. This is an asynchronous flush-to-disk
+ * operation. Not suitable for data integrity operations.
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE (or SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER): wait for
+ * completion of writeout of all pages in the range. This will be used after an
+ * earlier SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE operation to wait
+ * for that operation to complete and to return the result.
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE|SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER:
+ * a traditional sync() operation. This is a write-for-data-integrity operation
+ * which will ensure that all pages in the range which were dirty on entry to
+ * sys_sync_file_range() are committed to disk.
+ *
+ *
+ * SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE and SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER will detect any
+ * I/O errors or ENOSPC conditions and will return those to the caller, after
+ * clearing the EIO and ENOSPC flags in the address_space.
+ *
+ * It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
+ * metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
+ * already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
+ * will be available after a crash.
